Lyrics of When the Cedars Fell by Shonagh Daly
It′s not much of a town,
But this is our home
'Cause it′s halfway to nowhere
So its paradise to some
Just a handful of people
And the judge has a bell
But nobody knows
When the cedars fell
We were too young to notice
We were too young to care
And how we ran through the cotton fields
With the wind in our hair
He will tease me 'til supper time
And I'd never tell
I remember so clearly
When the cedars fell
And time passed by
Every day with his laughter
Every night in his eyes
And when we became lovers
I didn′t lose a friend
And she brought the sunshine
The joy and the pride
It was clear for a girl
And when he saw her he cried
How long will you love us
I did make him tell
He said he would love us
′Til the cedars fell
It was the worst storm we'd ever known
So they gave her a name
She would kill without mercy
But he went all the same
And I heard the trees creaking
I remember the sound
As two of those cedars came down to the ground
And time passed by,
And the days have no laughter,
And the tears in the night
And the memory will linger,
′Til the end,
And I woke that morning
To the sound of that phone
I let it ring through my emptiness
Cos I knew he was gone
And sometimes she asks me
But I still can't tell
I say nobody knows
When the cedars fell
Nobody knows when the cedars fell
